Scientific paper

SOFI, ESO's new 1 - 2.5 μm infrared imager/spectrometer, was installed at the NTT on La Silla in early December 1997 and saw first light as planned on the 6th. The acronym stands for Son OF ISAAC, the larger and more complex infrared instrument being built by ESO for the VLT. In addition to significantly enhancing the infrared observing capabilities on La Silla, SOFI has also provided valuable experience within the 'VLT environment' now existing at the upgraded NTT telescope.
